letter From Fauquier.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette)
ORLEAN, April 11.-There is strong and
sweet aroma of burning grass borne on the
south wind and smoky haze settles about
the horizon. The industrious husbandman
has invaded the fence corner and hedge row
and soon the cut worm will be sampling the
young corn. The bull frog is blowing the
wind from the pipes of his bazoo in the
swamps in preparation for the first swamp
rehearsal.
The people of our community enjoyed
hearing first class sermon, preached by
Elder McInturf, on yesterday, from the
words, "For me to live is Christ, and to die
is gain" He spoke of this world, with all
of its beauties, its attractions, fascioatlons
and amusements, and what pleasure 1t
WAS to live in it; and Paul, being man OF
like passions, enjoyed living in it as much
as We did. He then discussed his subject
from Christian standpoint, which he did in
q mastery style. Paul, :" SAID ne, "olo noo
do as the preachers of the present day, 60
from one church to another once
month, but went into the regions be-
yond and carried the gospel to tne
heathen world" In treating the lat
ter part of his subject, he drew g thrilling
and touching contrast between the death OF
Christian and the death Of the uncoRvert-
ed-the gain to the one and the eternal loss
to the other. Mr.. McInturf is thoroughly
educated man, and withal forcible and
pleasant speaker. He told all Christians,
and "Old School" Baptists especially, that
their salvation did not depend so much up
predestination or election as upon their
obedience to the commands of God.
In former communication we stated that
the present clerk of the board Of school
trustees was elected by his own vote. We

We are authorized by the council of foreign
bondhoders to call the attention of holders o.
Virginia consols aud 10 4os to the fact that the
English bondholders are endeavoring, through the
instrumentaity of the council of foreign bond
holders to bring about satisfactory settlement OF
the debt OF Virginia.
With this object in view, the English bond
holders have, to large extent, agreed to pool
their bonds and have authorized the council OF
foreign bondholders to act for them in the nego-
tiations which are about to bs had between COM
mission sent ont from London and committee ap-
pointed by the Legislature of Virginia.
1t is most desirable that all holders of Virginia
bonds, both at home and abroad, should unite in
the effort to effect an early settlement of the
State debt To better accomplish this object, the
council of foreign bondhoders earnestly request
the holders of Virginia bonds in America to CO.
operate with them and to forward to ourselves
their names and addresses, stating the amount of
bonds held, at as early day as possible.
We will be glad to furnish copies of the plan
adopted by the English bondholders for pooling
their bonds at London, and to give any other in
formation that may be desired.

Thursday evening. A very interesting
program was in order. Rev. Mr.. Pretty
man opened by reading of scripture and
prayer, and singing by the choir. Miss

ability as an elocutionist. Mr.. and Mrs.
c. w. Prettyman sang Duet, followed
by Miss Fannie Lyle reciting the "Burn-
ing of the Lexicon" very creditably and
was generously applauded Solo and
chorus by Mrs. Kate Goldey and the
choir. Miss Maggie Deputy certainly
acquitted herself very favorably in read
ing Il choice selection. Messrs. Will and
Vigil and Mrs. Emma Prettyman played
Il trio accompaniment on cornet, flute
and organ.
At this point Mr.. Prettyman in his
joval way announced the most important
feature of the entertainment-the collec-
ton.

The complaint that comes to us
through our exchanges of an unusually
early fall of the young peaches, ere the
blossoms have left them, pertains also to
this community, though there is nothing
like destruction Of the crop, unless it
may be in few orchards under excep-
tional circumstances The most notice
able effect as above indicated are in the
orchards that fruited heavily last year.
The early collapse of so much fruit is I'M
usual and the result of II cause which in
the absence Of frost since the opening of
the blossoms, was perhaps justly attribu-
ted to the foggy morning of the early
part of this week followed by very hot
suns. This was very severe test Of their
vitality, the weaker ones succumbing.
The most Of orchards needed Just such a
thinning out process, and perhaps much
the larger number will be further bene-
fitted by Il heavy June drop. We have
before us from the orchard Of Chas. II
Dulin branches of both white and yellow
fruit well filled with young peaches the
size of peas, looking healthy and yigor-
ous,-three times as many as can proper
ly be matured.
The cherry trees that were so well set
with blossoms are said to be almost de
void of fruit The fault here attributed
to the fogs followed by the hot suns

Armstrong p; Rothwell, IF.
The Academy club made thirteen runs
in three innings, and at this point the
ball was lost. 1t was good thing be-
cause it is quite probable that several
players would have been so fatigued that
they would not haye been ALE to make
more runs. There was no game really
as five innings were not played.
Wade made three single hits, and Il.
l., Raub made two home runs.
IIossinger and B. Raub made good
double play in first inning.
Bracken made the round of bases on a
single mt ana TWO Wllu throws.
Whiteman and b. Raub did good field
ing.
Good fielding was done by Scott, Foard,
Bracken and Armstrong of the picked
nine
f.. l.. Raub pitched and was well sup
ported by Whiteman; was not batted
much.
Foard supported Armstrong well in
the third inning when he took that
position.
The fielding was poor generally, while
several good plays were made.
Quite number of ladies witnessed the
game.

sooner does the train pull up than it
seems to be abandoned. 1t is true that
even the prOmptness of the officers of
the train fail sometimes to prevent a
rush in getting ON before those on board
have time to step from the car platform
We would ask, where are all the train
dispatchers or train masters assistants at
such time? 1t seems clearly their duty
to be on hand, as their services would
be very valuable, and the time occupied
very meagre. 1t is to be hoped the SUI
perintendent will so instruct his men
that future trouble will be avoided in this
particular.
